Protecting fruit trees
« on: August 17, 2012, 11:37:59 AM »
After reading thruogh the miniature greenhouse thread I got curious as to how everyone protects their trees in the winter. I know that not everyone has this worry but living on the treasure coast I will have to have a plan for my trees. So please let me know your way of doing it, if you have pictures please show them.

Thanks,

Alex

Gardenweb has a good search function plus google should turn up some good threads we had on this at gardenweb and with lots of photos.
Here is one-->>> http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tropicalfruits/msg1019135831574.html?12

Some of these photos will lead to the garden web threads you want

On the USDA hardiness sone map it shows that I am in 10a zone (Ft. Pierce FL), should I be to concerned for mangos and avocados?

Thanks SWRancher would you have any ideass on how to protet them?

On a side note have you had any fruit from your Oro Negro? I have a little tree that I am waiting patiently to get fruit from but would love to hear how it really is from someone who has one. so far you and CTMIAMI are the only ones I hear about that have them.

I also have seen your yard updates and am extremely envios of your fruit trees!
